Anthony Volpe finding some success that could turn around his Yankees season
Access the Yankees beat like never before Don't miss Greg Joyce's text messages from The Bronx and beyond — he's giving Sports+ subscribers the inside buzz on the Yankees. Sign Up Now Aaron Boone's defense of Anthony Volpe's shortstop play hasn't wavered, even as the errors — all 13 of them, tied for the second most in the majors entering Monday — stacked together. He remained adamant that Volpe is still a 'top shortstop' in a postgame news conference last week, a night when another Volpe error cost the Yankees against the Blue Jays. He ripped the 'over the top' criticism that the 24-year-old faced in a 'Talkin' Yanks' podcast last week, an episode which also featured his 'I-don't-care-what-you-want' rant when his team's effort was questioned. Advertisement And while Boone's support — many times teetering between rational and delusional — 'means the world to Volpe,' he told The Post that 'I wish he didn't ever have to need to have my back.' He has tried to have a 'healthy frustration' regarding what has gone wrong in the field. To keep working toward fixing it. To creating a scenario where, for the first time this season, Volpe's performances both at the plate and in the field consistently mirror what the Yankees envisioned.

Aaron Boone goes off on media in fiery defense of Yankees' effort: ‘I don't care what you want'
Access the Yankees beat like never before Join Post Sports+ for exciting subscriber-only features, including real-time texting with Greg Joyce about the inside buzz on the Yankees. Try it free Aaron Boone has had it with people questioning the Yankees' effort — and the hyper-analyzing of his and his player's remarks to the media. The Yankees manager went off during his weekly appearance on Jomboy's 'Talkin' Yanks' podcast during a discussion about the team's 10-17 record against AL East opponents this season, Blue Jays star Vladimir Guerrero's dive into home plate during Monday's game and the notion that their rivals might want the games more than them. Advertisement Boone turned his fury toward the media and made it clear he wants his team to be even-keeled. 'Understand the pestering, bantering, leading questions that are being asked of our guys,' a fired-up Boone said. 'And I don't want them to just fly off the handle and be emotional. We've been pretty good over the years of compartmentalizing and dealing with the everyday grind of the regular season and playing in New York, and you start getting emotional and going down that road, it's a bad trait.' 3 Aaron Boone (c.) talking to Jomboy (l.) and Talkin' Jake (r.) on the 'Talkin' Yanks' podcast.

YouTube/Talkin' Yanks Advertisement Boone also has an issue with the interpretations of players' comments after games and the idea that because they're not outwardly upset, that they perhaps aren't too concerned about results. CHECK OUT THE LATEST MLB STANDINGS AND YANKEES STATS 'Everyone's different. Stop with the reaction of how a guy answers a frickin' question. Seriously,' Boone said. 'We gotta win. OK? We are obsessed with it and hell-bent preparation-wise and guys give a rip. … Some people will give you colorful answers. … Some guys throw their helmet. Does that make you feel good? Some guys are calm. Stop it. It doesn't mean a guy cares more or less because he dives into home plate. It's you've gotta be angry at something because we didn't win.' Advertisement Jomboy said that the urgency Boone insists the Yankees feel doesn't come across. 'You're cherry-picking the answers you like that you're like, 'yeah, that's tugging at my fandom in the right way.' Sorry, they're not robots,' Boone said. Jomboy then said he wanted more non-robotic answers. Advertisement 'I don't care what you want,' Boone fired back. 'These are answers of pestering, everyday questions. I want our guys in a good like, boom. We are locked in, when it's s–tty and when it's really good, and all in between. I want us locked. I want us showing up every day ready to prepare and ready to go. Period. It's a hard game.' 3 Aaron Boone Brett Davis-Imagn Images The Yankees (55-45) lost to the Blue Jays, 4-1, Monday night to fall four games behind Toronto for the AL East lead. That was their fifth straight loss to a division foe after being swept by the Blue Jays in four games earlier this month.

Yankees' Aaron Boone Announces Significant Roster Updates on Tuesday
Yankees' Aaron Boone Announces Significant Roster Updates on Tuesday originally appeared on Athlon Sports. For the back half of June and into the first week of July, the New York Yankees have struggled mightily in all facets of the game. During this stretch, they've endured two separate five-game losing streaks over a 22-game span, falling out of first place in the AL East. After sitting at 42-25 on June 13, they've slipped to second place with a 49-41 overall record. However, after snapping their latest skid with a win over the New York Mets on Sunday, manager Aaron Boone—who has received much of the recent criticism—announced several major roster updates during an appearance on 'Talkin' Yanks' ahead of Tuesday's series opener against the Seattle Mariners. Boone confirmed that top pitching prospect Cam Schlittler will make his MLB debut on Wednesday against Seattle. Aaron Boone confirms to us that Cam Schlittler will start for the Yankees tomorrow, making his MLB debut — Talkin' Yanks (@TalkinYanks) July 8, 2025 He also revealed that Jazz Chisholm Jr. is officially moving back to second base, a decision that Yankees fans have long been hoping for. Additionally, the Yankees are set to receive a much-needed boost to their starting rotation, as Luis Gil is scheduled to begin a rehab assignment on Sunday and will be built back up to return as a starter. Aaron Boone tells us Luis Gil is expected to begin a rehab assignment on Sunday, and confirms he'll be built up as a starter — Talkin' Yanks (@TalkinYanks) July 8, 2025 Fans reacted to the moves: "JAZZ BACK TO HIS ACTUAL POSITION," a fan said. Someone else added, "t's about time. A good follow up question would be why did it take so long." Another fan posted, "Luis Gil is a more important piece to saving this season than he was just a week ago. I really hope he can get back into things quickly. Our rotation is taking severe hits." "Get him dialed in coach," one more fan commented. The Yankees are entering a crucial six-game stretch before the All-Star break, facing off against two clear playoff contenders—the Seattle Mariners and the Chicago Cubs. The good news: both series will be played in the Bronx, where the Yankees hold a solid 26–17 record this story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Jul 8, 2025, where it first appeared.

Yankees' Aaron Boone Makes Jazz Chisholm Jr. Announcement
From the second he suffered an oblique injury last week, New York Yankees second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. made it clear he didn't expect to be out long. Despite a prognosis estimating a 4-6 recovery timeline, Chisholm may have been onto something after all. Advertisement 'I wouldn't be surprised if he beats the timeline,' Yankees manager Aaron Boone told the 'Talkin' Yanks' podcast on Wednesday. 'Jazz does have a history of healing well and pretty quick.' Chisholm left an April 29 victory over the Baltimore Orioles with a right oblique strain. The lefty slugger hurt himself on a first-inning foul ball, stayed in the game, and then reached third on a double and error. The Yankees immediately replaced Chisholm with backup infielder Oswald Peraza. New York promoted rookie infielder Jorbit Vivas upon placing Chisholm on the injured list. New York Yankees second baseman Jazz Chisholm Kucin Jr.-Imagn Images Speaking with reporters following the injury, Chisholm correctly predicted he hadn't torn the oblique. Advertisement 'I can cough without any pain or anything like that,' he said, according to the Yankees' official website. 'It's just to be cautious and not try to overdo it.' Boone said earlier this week that he expects to give two-time batting champion DJ LeMahieu reps at second base in Chisholm's absence. LeMahieu hasn't played yet this season while recovering from calf and hip problems, though he's currently on a rehab assignment with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. LeMahieu, who has won three of his four Gold Gloves primarily manning second base, hasn't played the position since July 2023. Chisholm hit .181 with seven home runs and 17 RBI through his first 125 plate appearances. Although Chisholm has already totaled 1.1 bWAR, he's also on pace for a career-low .714 OPS.
